A 24-inch square LED backlit panel flush mount with integrated emergency battery for reliable illumination during power outages in damp-rated locations.
The Nuvo Lighting 65-1665 Backlit Panel provides dependable illumination with selectable wattages of 20W, 30W, or 40W and universal voltage operation at 120–277V. This 2x2 model includes an integrated emergency battery that delivers 90 minutes of runtime, with a red battery backup and indicator light for added safety. Offering CCT selectability (3500K/4000K/5000K), the fixture features a steel body, die-cast aluminum trim with seamless corners, and a polystyrene lens for even light distribution.
Best for
- Commercial buildings requiring emergency lighting compliance in hallways and exit paths
- Office spaces, conference rooms, and cubicle areas needing backup illumination during outages
- Schools, hospitals, and healthcare facilities where continuous lighting is critical
- Damp-rated locations like covered entryways, laundry rooms, and commercial kitchens
- Retail stores and showrooms requiring both general lighting and emergency backup
Not ideal for
- Residential living rooms or bedrooms where a decorative fixture is desired
- Outdoor areas exposed to direct rain or water spray (damp-rated only, not wet-rated)
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft if a recessed look is preferred (this is a surface-mount panel)
How bright is it?
Selectable lumen output: 2500 lumens (20W), 3750 lumens (30W), or 5000 lumens (40W). At the highest setting, it's comparable to a 300W incandescent bulb, suitable for general ambient lighting in medium to large rooms. The lowest setting is ideal for accent or task lighting. Emergency mode provides reduced output for 90 minutes.
Light color and feel
Three selectable color temperatures: 3500K (warm white), 4000K (neutral white), and 5000K (daylight). 3500K provides a cozy, inviting glow; 4000K is crisp and clean for workspaces; 5000K simulates natural daylight for tasks requiring high visibility. CRI 80+ ensures decent color rendering. Dimmable down to 10% via 0-10V dimmer (not included).
Sizing and fit
Dimensions: 23.74 x 23.74 x 2.6 inches (slightly thicker due to battery). Fits standard 2x2 ft grid ceilings or can be surface-mounted on any ceiling. Works well in rooms 100-200 sq ft with 8-10 ft ceilings.
